Current IssueCreating a Culture of Collaboration
PCB designers could learn quite a bit from NASA and the private companies that develop spacecraft: Every one of these vehicles is a testament to the value of collaboration among disparate stakeholders. Without a collaborative culture, the rocket might never get off the ground.
Breaking High-speed Material Constraints
Do you need specialty materials for your high-speed designs? Maybe not. Improvements in resins mean designers of high-speed boards can sometimes use traditional laminate systems. Learn more in this issue.
Level Up Your Design Skills
This month, our contributors discuss the PCB design classes available at IPC APEX EXPO 2024. As they explain, these courses cover everything from the basics of design through avoiding over-constraining high-speed boards, and so much more!

Increase Test and Fault Coverage Through Interactive Tests
July 1, 2024 | Acculogic Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
New extended capabilities have been added to the proven integration package combining the FLS 980Dxi flying probe tester from Acculogic with the Embedded JTAG Solutions from GOEPEL electronic.
The automatic generation of interactive tests now provides real added value: measurements from movable probes of the FLS 980Dxi flying probe tester are actively integrated into Boundary Scan test. The SYSTEM CASCON software platform seamlessly integrates use of the Acculogic test system probes and is able to generate additional test patterns using these external access points.
The dedicated test type "Interactive ATE" is used for this purpose, which allows fast configuration by means of intelligent filtering of nets to be included in or excluded from the test. This maximizes transparency, test coverage, and test completeness. The tests are carried out using the the FLS 980Dxi flying probe tester software, which means the operator's familiar user interface remains unchanged.
When selecting the hardware components, attention was paid to compatible and industry standard interfaces. The integration package includes the latest generation of modular JTAG/Boundary Scan controllers, the SCANFLEX II CUBE, and an I/O module mounted onto the controller. Standard connectors allow for easy integration to the hardware interface of the Acculogic flying prober. This setup can also be integrated into existing systems.
GOEPEL electronic develops and manufactures innovative electrical and optical test, measurement, and inspection equipment for electronic components and printed circuit board assemblies as well as industrial and automotive electronics systems. GOEPEL electronic comprises four business units:
- Automotive Test Solutions
- Embedded JTAG Solutions
- Inspection Solutions AOI-AXI-SPI-IVS
- Industrial Function Test
The company is active worldwide, with its own subsidiaries as well as through distributors, and generated sales of approximately 40 million euros in 2023 with about 240 employees.

Collaboration Station
07/03/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamAs a PCB designer working for an EMS provider, Kelly Dack has seen his share of boards fail because they were designed in a vacuum; the designer simply threw the design “over the wall” and hoped for the best. In this interview, Kelly discusses the need for collaboration between all the stakeholders involved in designing and manufacturing the PCB. As Kelly points out, IPC’s CID curriculum provides a great framework for setting up a collaboration culture in your company, and standards help enable this kind of environment.
